The Story Behind "You Be You"
Our Intro Song, You Be You, really is at the heart behind what we want to share and help you with- being your fullest self with no expectations. Here's David for some behind the scenes on the writing of this song:
"I wrote the chorus to “You Be You” a few years ago when I was thinking a lot about my son. He is such a unique and special kid, and I saw him trying to navigate the world and trying to fit himself into what society expected of him. I really wanted to be able to tell him to just be himself, and not fall in line with what everyone else wanted.
I realized over time, though, that my own admonishments for him to be himself were also putting pressure on him. Every time I told him to be real, all he felt was his dad trying to get him to do something. So I added the line “and you can take your time”, because I really wanted this to be a song free from pressure, free from expectations.
A little while later Eryn asked me to write a song for The Practical Minimalists Podcast, and I had this unfinished chorus that I thought would really fit in nicely with the idea of minimizing “shoulds” and expectations and pressures. From that point the verses flowed really easily, but I always view the whole song through that one line that is really my favorite: 'you be you, and you can take your time'."

Episode Two: With Kids Staying Home
Episode Two is out! Every so often we with be doing these WITH episodes to help you find connection and things in common with your fellow humans. We can often find freedom in connecting over the things we have in common, instead of focusing on the small percentage of things where we differ.
Right now all of us who have children are, well, staying home with them...all the time. This leads to some pretty crazy and interesting stories. This episode features some listener funnies! Whether your kids are painting walls, learning to talk to animals, or being uber responsible and cleaning their rooms every day, we are all dealing with some of the same things. This episode is for anyone who wants to feel a little more connected or who needs a laugh!
